Abstract:
The siting of new buildings and the expansion of
existing buildings and homes is subject to various
property development standards in the Linn County
Land Development Code (LCC). The purpose of this
handbook is to explain and illustrate how to meet
development standards for property located in
forested areas of Linn County. The handbook is
intended to provide Linn County property owners,
residents and development professionals with a
clear and concise description of the LCC standards
related to building in forested areas. Specifically,
the handbook describes the forestland structural
siting standards contained in the Land Development
Code including property line setbacks, building
material requirements, road and access design,
firebreaks and water supply standards. [From the document]
